I'm interested in hearing your saucethoughts, Beautiful Blossoms! Has makeup peaked around 2016, when beauty vloggers were hawking left and right about their OGs, their favorites, their must haves, etc.? Or have we yet to witness the peak of makeup? And yes, just as with fashion, makeup styles go through cycles, but in this current …

BBA Musings: It’s Hard Out Here in These Cosmetic Streets
Hey there, Beautiful Blossoms! Yes, it has been quite some time since I last blogged, but there's just been too much activity outside the blog life that has kept me busy like a headless chicken. Anywho, morbid quip aside, my mind mused over the makeup brands I've come to own over the years and one …

For 2023
You know what I haven't done for the longest time? Play with my stash. The ongoing pandemic (The WHO and no government agency is going to convince me the pandemic is over 😒) has definitely prolonged my indifference towards playing with my stash, but with the passing of my grandfather, I find myself staring down …
Cosmetics: Recession-Proof (No More?)
It was a widely-held belief that the cosmetic industry is (almost) recession-proof, and it's easy to see why - how many times have makeup lovers declared that their favorite makeup item would have to be pried from their cold, dead hands? Or the countless times that if a decision had to be made between makeup …
Beauty in the Time of COVID

BBA Musings # 2 – Online Browsing is the New Window Shopping
Window shopping used to be a pastime reserved for trips to the mall or as a means of detaching yourself from the routine of every day - but with the advent of the Internet, we've now turned to a new window - a strictly electronic version of whatever browser we use.
Life Update 4: YouTube, Work+School, Etc.
Ah, YouTube. How you used to be on a pedestal for many who were sick of regular TV. Now, you can't think of the platform without being made painfully aware of the controversies that hover over it like a dark cloud. You may or may not know it, but I have a YouTube channel too! …
Makeup I Thought I’d Love Forever # 1
But time proved me wrong and removed those rose-colored glasses. This first of many entries in this series (I really need to keep track of how many of these I've created) features two makeup products that weren't as great as I thought they were. I really thought I'd love the products mentioned in this series …
BAFT: Long-Wear Makeup
One interesting trait that I've noticed as of late is the industrial standard claim of "long-wearing" or "long-wear" makeup. As in, the makeup lasts so long, I don't need to bring my makeup kit for touch ups. It sounds convenient at first - I wouldn't have to worry about checking myself with my compact mirror …
Choosing Platforms: YouTube vs Blogging
When I wanted to create an online presence to discuss my personal beauty preference(s), blogging was the first thing to come to mind. At the time, many people were flocking to YouTube with the hopes that they'd be the next big beauty channel with subscribers, free PR, and millions of views. From a business standpoint, …
